| '''Verbosity''' is the degree to which a text is '''verbose''', a property that is the opposite of conciseness. A verbose text is one that has a larger than necessary amount of words, usually the inflation being due to a higher number of ]s. Verbose texts tend to be more descriptive, but at the cost of blurring the information, to the point where excessively verbose texts have only description, and are often unreadable. | |||
| Individual words which are excessive, and unnecessary, are referred to as ]s, whereas incidents of excessive verbosity are referred to as ]. | |||
| Verbosity is also a term used to describe a feature of ] that support vision-impaired computer users. '''Speech verbosity''' controls enable users to choose how much speech feedback they wish to hear. Specifically, verbosity settings allow users to construct a mental model of web pages displayed on their computer screen. Based on verbosity settings, a screen-reading program informs users of certain formatting changes, such as when a frame or table begins and ends, where graphics have been inserted into the text, or when a list appears in the document. | |||
| Some screen reading programs also include '''language verbosity''', which automatically detects verbosity settings related to speech output language. For example, if a user navigated to a website based in the United Kingdom, the text would be read with a British accent. | |||
